Good afternoon. We currently have our Splunk cloud receiving logs from firewall, office 365 and azure. And now we want to send windows logs, but when installing the universal forwarder on the windows machine, we are not able to view the logs in the splunk cloud. We can see that the collector is receiving the logs, but we don't see it in the splunk cloud. According to the images, the host is correct, but we are not receiving the correct index logs. Could someone please help?

Check the settings in inputs.conf on the UF.  The index setting may be incorrect or missing, leading to data being sent to the lastchangeindex index.
